People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Yaer did meet several of Ernst's requirements for a guide - someone who knew Kjerag, knew the Epic of Yelagund, had a status that matched (or even surpassed) that of the people of Rhodes Island, and would not get lost in Kjerag.

But she is the head maid, which may not sound like a high position, but we can call her another name - cabinet secretary.

The position of Saint is rotated from generation to generation, and due to the conditions in the past, the Saint often, well... can't be in office for too long. But the head maid will not change. When it comes to matters related to Kjerag's religion, even Enya often has to refer to Yaer's opinions. Not to mention Ernst, the Son of God who basically doesn't care about religion.

This is also the reason why Ernst felt that asking her to do this was a bit of an overreaction.

"Lady Saint has agreed." Ya'er said, "Also, Lord Saint, you are in charge of everything now, you have to give us something to do, right? Staying in Manzhu Courtyard every day, even if I can see you doing things, it will be boring."

You said that as if you were staring at me.

Ernst complained in his heart, but he couldn't deny that Yaer was telling the truth.

After the death of the great elder, the power of Manjuyuan gradually declined. From the era of "asking Manjuyuan for everything: Is this in accordance with Gangmen?", it gradually turned into an era where Ernst was asked for both big and small matters.

For Ernst, this is a good thing. The more people think of him in more and more things, the more his influence and power are expanding. But for Manzhuyuan, the situation is completely the opposite.

If this goes on for a long time, even if Enya, as a saint, would not have any opinion on Ernst, it is impossible for other people in Manzhuyuan not to have other thoughts.

Just like Ernst asked Latatos to represent him in charge of Kalan Trade and asked Actor to be the Minister of Defense, he really had to find something to do for the neglected Manzhuyuan.

After a moment's silence, Ernst nodded:

"Then please."

...........

Tukarim, Kjerag Government Office Building.

As Kal'tsit walked to the door of Amiya and Klossie's lounge, she heard a strange voice coming from the room.

Kal'tsit pushed the door open with some doubt and immediately noticed the figure of a black-haired woman wearing traditional Kjerag clothing in the room.

"Amiya? Who is this?"

She frowned, vaguely feeling that the woman in front of her was looking at her with a slightly strange look.

Amiya stood up and introduced enthusiastically:

"This is Ms. Yaer, sent by Prime Minister Ernst to be our guide."

Kelsey nodded thoughtfully, walked forward and extended her hand: "Ms. Yaer, nice to meet you."

Yaer also smiled and nodded, walked forward, and held Kal'tsit's hand, with a mischievous light flashing in her deep blue eyes:

"Ms. Kal'tsit is really a forgetful person. Didn't we just meet?"

"Just met him?" Kal'tsit was stunned.

Yaer nodded: "Yes, just now, in the hall of Manzhuyuan."

A few minutes later, Ernst's office.

Kal'tsit pushed the door open, looking a little pale.

Ernst immediately stepped forward and asked with concern:

"Ms. Kelsey, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing." Kal'tsit waved her hand, "I'm here to give you an answer."

"What?" Ernst reacted for a moment before he suddenly realized, "Cooperation? It's only been less than a day, and the Duke of Windermere's envoy hasn't arrived yet. Can you think about it again?"

"I hope that our cooperation will be a happy one for both parties and there will be no forced elements."

The corner of Kal'tsit's mouth twitched.

Okay, well said!

Kal'tsit believed that Ernst was not that bad, but the same could not be said about his elders.

"No need. The conditions you offer are very generous. I can make a decision now."

Kelsey said,

"Rhodes Island chooses the second one. Compared to dealing with the Duke of Windermere to take a chance, for Rhodes Island right now, we hope to obtain a stable source of income."

"We can sign the contract, and Rhodes Island will go to Colombia as soon as possible to start the transportation work. We will ensure that the order is completed as soon as possible and will not delay the progress of Tukarim's project."

Chapter 153: Revive, my Fire Demon!

Columbia, Tremont, Melander Foundation.

It was almost a year since he left, and when he came back, Holhaiya felt as if he had been in another world.

But think about it, this is Tremon after all. The rapid development here cannot be described as changing with each passing day. For a feathered serpent like Holhaiya whose lifespan is slightly limited, being able to live here and see new things every day is not a good thing, right?

"There's no need to presume to give me some sentimental monologue. It's not something you like to do, Tin Man, to guess my mood."

Looking at the Tin Man sitting alone in the cafe, playing sad music on his terminal, Holhaiya smiled mockingly.

"Instead of worrying about my life span, you should worry about yourself. I heard that when your head was torn off, I dropped a lot of government affairs and ran back."

Pulling out a cigar from his leather jacket, the Tin Man took out a lighter and quipped:

"Why didn't I feel that you cared so much about me?"

"You're overthinking. I didn't even mourn your death for a moment. I immediately rushed back to Columbia to take over the title and allowance of the Melander Foundation's first agent!"

Holhaiya spread his hands and sat down opposite the Tin Man. Then he watched the Tin Man light his cigar and take a deep puff in front of the "No Smoking" sign.

"Isn't smoking prohibited here?" she asked.

"I'm not going to vomit anyway." The tin man with the epic lung-swelling had a red light flashing in his eyes, and said with interest, "You're actually starting to care about these rules and regulations. Is Kjerag's civil servant life too comfortable for you?"

"I like it there very much." said Holhaiya.

"Why? Where did you find the books of your tribe?" The Tin Man was a little surprised. In his opinion, Holhaiya would not be the kind of person who would show mercy to a place.

The madness in this man's bones was beyond even his comprehension. To the extent that he would say something like "I like Kjerag", the Tin Man really had to wonder if Ernst Shivaash had some ancient spiritual magic that had given Holhayya a little hypnotic shock.

But Holhaiya's answer also surprised him.

“Why wouldn’t I like a place where God is watching?”

"My lifelong wish is to restore the glory of our feathered serpent ancestors. But to this day, apart from the obsessions passed down from generation to generation in my mind, I don't even know what the so-called glory looks like. So I devoted myself to studying history, hoping to find a trace of information about the feathered serpent gods and people from the vast sea of ​​classics. But..."

There was a hint of fanaticism on Holhaiya's face.

"But, there will always be losses and omissions in the classics. What can be better than asking questions directly to the living history and the living God?"

What is God?

Omniscience and omnipotence? This definition is really vague. After all, times are constantly changing. The omniscience and omnipotence of ten thousand years ago is no longer the same as the omniscience and omnipotence of today. Does an omniscience and omnipotence God also have to learn new concepts?

If we put aside the concept of omniscience and omnipotence, Holhaiya believes that Yelagund is undoubtedly the best embodiment of the concept of "God".

It has existed for thousands of years and has protected Kjerag through the long years, from the Age of Behemoths, the Age of Gods and the Age of the Ancestors to the present day. It can call the wind and rain, bring about thunder and blizzards, and even open up airspace in the sky suitable for aircraft to fly.

These are beyond human power; they are miracles.

Because of this, after searching through all of Kjerag's books and failing to find any record of the feathered serpent, Holhayya turned his attention to the being who knew far more than anything in any book - Yelagund.

"If I can ask Yelagund, ask God, then my questions will surely be answered."

She thought so, and that was why she never left Kjerag.

There won't be such a good opportunity anywhere else.

The behemoths from other places don’t care about human feelings, the behemoths from other places won’t get close to humans, the behemoths from other places won’t answer human questions, and the behemoths from other places have little hope of even seeing Him.

Only Yelagund, only Yelagund would do this!

And she, Holhaiya, is a close minister to Ernst Shivaash, the chosen one of the gods Yelagund. As long as she can please Ernst, it is not impossible for her to win the favor of this god!

She must think about whether this is her only chance in this life! It is our duty to restore the glory of Quetzalcoatl!

Seeing that Horhaiya's expression had gradually become somewhat fanatical, the Tin Man couldn't help but want to wipe away the cold sweat that didn't exist at all.

hiss--

I was just joking, take it seriously. Does Kjerag really have a mind controller? I've only been an agent for a year, why do I feel like I'm turning into a fanatic?

Knowing that he couldn't continue discussing this strange question, the Tin Man quickly changed the subject:

"Holhaiya, you should know why the Melander Foundation called you back this time, right?"

Holhaiya came back to his senses from his fascination and glanced at the Tin Man:

"Isn't it because you had your head twisted off that you suddenly needed me to come back to help deal with the aftermath?"

"Aren't you curious about who can twist off my head?" The Tin Man took another deep puff, and the length of the cigar became slightly shorter.

Why, you smoke so hard, did you just change the head and put e-liquid in it?

After muttering in his heart, Hol Haiya guessed without following the routine:

"My old boss, Tremont has few people capable of killing you. Aside from the few who are not here now, the others can be counted on one hand. And among them, there are only two or three who can conflict with you."

She held up a finger. "Head of Rhine Life's defense department, Saria, huh?"

"Sometimes I think it's a shame that you're an intelligence agent." The Tin Man sighed, "Yes, Saria."

"Christen has only been gone for a few days, who would have thought that Rhine Life would make such a big move?" The Tin Man shook his head in distress.

This aroused Holhaiya's interest.

There aren't many troubles that can be considered as a big job by her old boss. She immediately asked curiously:

"What happened? Did they accidentally turn the Vice President into a monster? Or did they blow up an entire city block as part of an experiment?"

"Their research violates certain taboos." said the Tin Man.

"Isn't there any taboo in science?" Holhaiya asked back.

The red light in the Tin Man's eyes flashed, and the light he looked at Holhaiya became brighter, and the iconic smoky voice became deeper:

"They violated my taboo."

Holhaiya raised her eyebrows. Before she could continue asking questions, the Tin Man took out a stack of files from his briefcase and threw them on the table.

"You can take a look first. After you finish reading, I will pass this stack of files to a researcher at Rhine Life. She seems to be particularly interested in this matter and is investigating it."

"Since you can't directly interfere with Rhine Life's affairs, you plan to take action from the inside?"

Holhaiya grinned.

"That doesn't seem like your method."

She picked up the file and looked at the file name.

[File confidentiality level: Top secret]

[File Name: Flame Demon Project]

[Commissioned by the Colombian military, Rhine Life used a fragment of the body of the Fire Demon, a branch of the Sarkaz race that has been confirmed to be extinct, to conduct a biochemical experiment. Initially, it was led by Parvis, the director of the Rhine Life Structure Department. The experimental subject was codenamed Ifrit. The state was unstable and the plan progressed slowly.]

[A month ago, the plan was authorized to be transferred to the new department of Rhine Life: Levi, the director of the Originium Life Science Department, presided over it. The plan has made unexpected progress.]

Levi?

Holhaiya frowned, he seemed to have heard Ernst mention this name before.

Seems like a fan of his books?

She raised her head and looked at the Tin Man who was smoking fiercely and was obviously worried, and asked, "What is this unexpected development?"

The Tin Man raised his head, looked at the ceiling, sighed deeply, and said slowly in a tone that was unclear whether it was heavy or angry:

"That scientist, his research went astray."

"The stupid military just wants to use the Balrog fragments to make a powerful biological weapon."

"And that guy wants to revive a real Royal Court Flame Demon!"

Chapter 154 Kal'tsit: Incomparable, the leader of an army!

Sherag, Tukarim.

I have to say that Kal'tsit and his group came quickly and left quickly.

If Ernst hadn't known that Miss Yaer had a good temper and was very gentle to others, he would have thought that Kal'tsit had suffered some injustice in Kjerag, which was why she left so quickly and awkwardly.
